and I find it so delightful
so as long as I will not quail
let it hail, let it hail, let it hail...

Here's hoping that all who are celebrating (meaning my US audience, mostly) are celebrating with someone special, whether that be friends, family, or pets. Or a combination of all of the above, really.

The wind whistles outside, while inside we have the sounds of sneezes,
sniffles and coughs. Soup is definitely on the menu for tonight!

in my house by foraging skunks!

so somebody apparently got into my truck last night and stole my iPod.

i'd guess, though, that it was a crime of opportunity and they were interrupted, as the checkbook and credit card that were in the center console did not get taken.

still, drat.

so graduation was yesterday. everything went smoothly, aside from the usual pauses for sniffles and whatnot. the only major glitch in my department came when someone tripped over the microphone cord and unplugged it. This was quickly remedied, however, and I reminded everyone else to watch their feet.

 so now all I have to do is pack up my room, schedule painting, submit my grades... wait, that's a lot of stuff! guess it's not quite over yet.

so I was recently made aware of this program that allows one to post to multiple blog and social networking sites at once.

 I'm testing it now. here goes nothing...

Hello, world!
